Intrepid Ibex Theme

This is the kind of thing Ubuntu needs to start making. The new Ibex theme is hideous and almost unusable for non-native applications, and and I disliked the last theme too.

It's known, thanks. That is just a mockup, so unless there's a real thing that the author can show, it doesn't help much...

To me this looks much more modern and usable than the current Ibex theme in the making. So I like it.

I like it too. Now just to have the real thing to test, not a mockup :)

The GDM mockup that guy made has a striking resemblance to New Wave,
so this may not be as far off as we assume. One issue with the mockup is that it is hoping for rounded corners at the bottom of windows, but there is no border to acomodate this. That can be overcome by having a thicker bottom border, which is a good idea anyway for easily resizing the window. Forcing a round corner without adding a Metacity window border to accommodate it (if it was possible within today's infrastructure, which I do not believe is so) would need to cut off actual content. We don't want that. MPlayer users, for example, would kill us. Ideally, I think window decoration themes should be superceded by GTK container widgets, which may afford us some interesting control along these lines. Until then - if that is even possible or remotely desirable, which is iffy - ... it wouldn't be looking like the mockup. I think the colour scheme is pretty decent, though, and I appreciate that this mockup keeps the actual software intact. There are some nice ideas in here :) Oh, cool background, too. And that wifi icon is actually useful; it takes the extra step of actually using an antenna to describe what the signal strength bars represent, which is Really Important yet strangely never done. (Even in those operating systems that spend millions on usability testing).

Someone made a flesh-and-bone GDM theme based off of the mock-up, and it has a rounded corner, too: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Intrepid+Ibex+GDM?content=86712

When I mention "the mockup" with rounded borders, I mean the one with a full desktop, not the GDM mockup. In fact, I only meant the GDM mockup when I was mentioning New Wave, then completely forgot about it :/ Sorry!

To me the rounded edges aren't an issue at all in the long run. If the developers could get something remotely like that theme it would be a vast improvement.

I do this because I like to have striking background images and I don't want a top panel to disrupt that. Perhaps that's probably more of a KDE-appropriate mentality, but hey, I have a thing for GNOME! I will throw in my vote that I find this mockup gorgeous. The rounded corners might have technical limitations but that's going to be a hard sell with newbies. This groundbreaking OS Linux doesn't have a window manager that can round corners on windows? Right-angle corners will look pretty Redmond, era 98.

I kind of missed this discussion on rounded windows.. why aren't they possible? I have such a theme that does them right now.

I think more widgets need to be shown. I can't judge a GTK theme that shows no GTK widgets.
